Introduction

This episode of the Orthobolids Podcast will go over the topic of osteoid osteoma. Osteoid osteomas are small benign osteogenic bone lesions most commonly found in the proximal femur. Patients typically present between ages 5 and 25 with regional pain that is worse at night and improves with NSAIDs. Treatment is usually non-operative with observation and NSAIDs for pain control. Radiofrequency ablation or surgical resection may be indicated in patients with progressive and severe symptoms.
